Similar in every respect to the typical variety, except that the dark 

 and light patches on the back of the ears are more strongly con- 

 trasted, and the stripes on the sides of the ramp are well defined 

 and conspicuous, their arrangement being precisely as in P. gunni, 

 with young specimens of which this variety might easily be con- 

 fused. Young individuals of that species, however, are always 

 distinguishable by their white tails, and their very much larger 

 molars. 



Dimensions similar to those of the true P. bougainvillei.
